Boost

Boost is a set of C++ libraries that provide helpful data structures and numerous support functions in a wide range of aspects of programming, such as, image processing, gpu programming, concurrent programming, along with many algorithms.  Boost is portable and performs well on a wide variety of platforms.

HOWTO: Use ulimit command to set soft limits

This document shows you how to set soft limits using the ulimit command.

The ulimit command sets or reports user process resource limits. The default limits are defined and applied when a new user is added to the system. Limits are categorized as either soft or hard. With the ulimit command, you can change your soft limits for the current shell environment, up to the maximum set by the hard limits. You must have root user authority to change resource hard limits.

GAMESS

The General Atomic and Molecular Electronic Structure System (GAMESS) is a flexible ab initio electronic structure program. Its latest version can perform general valence bond, multiconfiguration self-consistent field, Möller-Plesset, coupled-cluster, and configuration interaction calculations. Geometry optimizations, vibrational frequencies, thermodynamic properties, and solution modeling are available. It performs well on open shell and excited state systems and can model relativistic effects.

SIESTA

SIESTA is both a method and its computer program implementation, to perform efficient electronic structure calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of molecules and solids. More information can be found from here.

Compilation Guide

As a general recommendation, we suggest selecting the newest compilers available for a new project. For repeatability, you may not want to change compilers in the middle of an experiment.

Pitzer Compilers

ParaView

ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform application designed to visualize data sets of size varying from small to very large. ParaView was developed to support distributed computational models for processing large data sets and to create an open, flexible user interface.

Availability and Restrictions

Versions

ParaView is available on Owens and Pitzer Clusters. The versions currently available at OSC are:

New User Resource Guide

Getting Started at OSC

This guide was created for new users of OSC.

It explains how to use OSC from the very beginning of the process, from creating an account right up to using resources at OSC.

OSC account setup

The first step is to make sure that you have an OSC username.

Turbomole

TURBOMOLE is an ab initio computational chemistry program that implements various quantum chemistry algorithms. It is focused on efficiency, notably using the resolution of the identity (RI) approximation.
